ROYAL Navy warships will “man-mark” a menacing Russia fleet that is preparing a pincer move on the English Channel, the MoD has said.
Eight Russian vessels led by a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are heading down the North Sea and are expected to pass through the Dover Straits tomorrow morning.
And they are expected to link up with two more ships there, meaning TEN heavily-armed Russian ships will be operating just miles from the British coast.
The Russian Northern Fleet is being stalked by two British warships, while two corvettes heading to Britain through the Bay of Biscay are being tracked by HMS Dragon.
Ministry of Defence chiefs are taking no chances and have pledged to keep the flotilla well within their sights.
A spokesman said: “When these ships are near our waters we will man-mark them every step of the way.
“We will be watching as part of our steadfast commitment to keep Britain safe.”
